As they head back to Lansing, lame-duck Michigan legislators face a major decision on the issue that dominated their successors’ campaigns.

“Roads. I expect there will be something done about roads,” said state Rep. Bill Rogers, R-Genoa Township.

Rogers is one of 35 state lawmakers who’ll leave their seats Dec. 31 as the result of term limits.

Finding more money for Michigan’s crumbling roads and bridges appears to be at the top of everyone’s agenda, whether they’re staying on or saying goodbye.

“I don’t know if we’ll come up with a 100 percent solution, but we could provide a start for those coming in,” Rogers said.

Lame ducks’ last eight weeks in office could prove busy.

Within hours after his re-election, Gov. Rick Snyder outlined his own agenda for the lame-duck session. It not only included raising $1 billion more a year for road and bridge repairs, but expanding the state’s Elliott Larsen Civil Rights Act to include the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community.

Other Republicans have mentioned a variety of other issues, from repealing prevailing wage laws, to changing Michigan’s Electoral College apportionment from winner-takes-all to one vote per congressional district.

Rogers, though, says he’s heard little discussion to date on either of those issues.

Snyder has also made it clear that they aren’t on his agenda.

But lame-duck sessions can be unpredictable.

Two years ago, GOP legislators controversially approved right-to-work legislation that Snyder signed despite earlier suggestions that the matter was a nonissue.

This time, the governor intends to keep a firmer handle on the process.

“I get concerned because you can have a wide variety of topics all over the place, and I don’t concur with that view,” he told the Detroit Free Press.
